Air Force Lookups - if you need help

[ajhales]

I am trying to research a Lancaster aircraft from 49 squadron lost on the 24th March 1944. It was on a bombing operation to Frankfurt. I know that 6 out of the 7 crew were lost and I have some information about them but anything extra that you can add would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Hello kyt.
Regarding your kind Look-up offer. I have a framed photograph of my late uncle, Flight Sgt. DAS McKay, standing outside Buckingham Palace, with a grin a mile wide. He had just come out from being presented with the DFM by King George VI after shooting down his twelfth Luftwaffe aircraft in the Battle of Britain and thus becoming an official Hurricane Ace.  Is there anything in your valuable book on him please? Thanks in advance.

I wish I could David but issues with sources and all that.

But a brief outline.

Donald McKay was awarded a DFM and Bar, both with 91 Squadron. His total tally at the end of the war was 14 confirmed kills, and a host of confirmed and unconfirmed shared kills. He also served with 501 Squadron and 521 Flight.

He ended the war as a F/Lt and went on to become one of the founding members of the Air Britain Society. He sadly died in 1959. His brother was Squadron Leader G R S McKay DFC.

Hi kyt
I am new to this site and live in england .
I found it whilst searching information on raf binbrook and 460 sqn.
I have seen your link to the 460 sqn orb but i have tried searching the archives for anything binbrook related and came up with nothing.
Not even the orb doesnt show up.
Maybe you could help me or find out for me what they have and is available to view if you would be most kind.
I have gathered a considerable amount of information on 460 sqn and trying to conatact any former crew or family as planning on writing a book on this once raf base so if anyone out there who was either stationed at binbrook who had a member of there family based there please get in touch as would love to hear from you.
Many thanks in advance
Darren

460 Squadron - Binbrook
I am helping my dad Henry Baskerville compile his stories about being a bomber pilot for 460 Squadron at Binbrook in 1943/44. Below is the link to his articles so far. If you want to ask him any questions, you could post a comment there.
